About a month ago, my editor suggested that I share my manuscript with people who will be able to provide a review of my memoir The Nunavut I Knew. Some of these reviews may end up as a part of my book while others may be used to promote it on online platforms... like Amazon Books.
This is exactly what I did! I sent out a PDF copy of the manuscript to a good handful of people, just before the Christmas holidays began. Since this is a very busy time for so many, I wasn't surprised to not get any feedback during this time. Haha! But over the last few days, I have had several of my "readers" telling me that their review will be coming soon. I'm very grateful to all those who are supporting my effort in this way. Thanks so much!
Yesterday, Jan 12, 2026, I was surprised to find a review in my email inbox. Ohhhhhhh, WOW! I am so pleased by these kind and thoughtful words.
To have a bit of fun, as I share this review... and future ones, I thought I'd put the words on photos that I took while in Rankin Inlet...

I've just added a
'Photo Gallery' to share the photos I'm using for these reviews (without all the words), as well as other photos that I took while in Rankin Inlet, Nunavut. Please enjoy!

The Nunavut I Knew - Making Headlines
- - May, 2026 - -
In May, 2026, this almost full page story appeared in the Byron Village Magazine...

I was recently interviewed... live... on air... by Kootenay Co-op Radio in Nelson, British Columbia. I used to be a DJ with this radio station as I was living in Nelson as I pursued my art project Canada: Glorious To Be. This project is the reason I travelled to Nunavut.
I have the audio file from this interview... it's about 10 minutes long... and I hope to make a video about this sometime soon. I'll post that here, when the video is done!

Three weeks ago, a freelance journalist tracked me down and we had a great hour long phone conversation about my memoir and journey to Rankin Inlet! Just this morning, I found the story as it now appears in print in thousands of home throughout the Kivalliq region of Nunavut!
This is the front page and you can see me in the bottom left corner!
And... here's the story! If you simply click on this image, it should appear larger. I believe you can then zoom in even further to read it. But if that proves difficult... here is the link to the actual news story...
